I want you to tuck me in real tight tonight. Can you bungee-cord my sheets around me so they will stay on?
This is a nice dictionary. (Mama: You can have it if you like. I never use it anymore, I just look stuff up online.) I'll show my kids some day. "This is how we used to look up words."
(Julian has been bringing his teddy bear Baby Love to school in his backpack this week.) Baby Love has ear chips. He can hear everything from inside the backpack. I have a microphone and we can talk with each other. He can hear everything in my class so he knows a lot. I don't have a Far-Away System so he can't hear from home. It only extends to about the school grounds.
Baby Love is singing Grandpa's favorite song! "zippity doo dah, zippity ay..."
(Julian has been carrying around a small ball of blue fuzz in his pocket that he says is a piece of the sky. He apparently grabbed it while jumping on the trampoline.)
I think of these like red crystals, Mama. Don't they look like red rubies growing in a cave? (pomegranate seeds)
AND I JUST FOUND THIS SERIES FROM 9/12 THAT I FORGOT TO POST THEN:
This huge sunflower is the logo of my writing. On cards, I usually put it on the back.
I'm going to get a quarter cup of poo for my recipe. It's not for humans, it's a recipe for flies.
(Prior to Tobi's Star Wars birthday party)
Suzuki: Julian, let's wash you hair.
Julian: We don't need to. It'll look more Star War-ish. Because Jedis' hair is more dusty.
Julian: Did you know that if there's a crack in a cord, it doesn't matter? Do you know why? Because the electricity doesn't stop just because there's a crack. It just goes through if there's something covering it.
Suzuki: Why are you thinking of that?
Julian: I was just thinking about electricity. And electrical tape. And cords.
Did you know you're always touching something? Even if you're naked and you're jumping, you're always touching something.
Are there elements that haven't been discovered yet? (Yes.) Are they in places that are hard to get to, like big caves?
(Julian was snickering to himself.)
Suzuki: What are you thinking about? What's so funny?
Julian: Oh, I was just thinking something funny. I was thinking about some flowers that are electric and they sway back and forth, like there's wind. And the petals are going around like those windmills and they're making the wind!
